The cashflow is marvellous.

Straco ended 3Q with$141 m in cash (+$28.4 million from start of 2015).

This was after paying off $9 m in long-term debt and 7.5 m in short-term debt and spending $2.9m on share buyback.

In other words, the business generated $47.8 million in free cash flow in the first 9 months! Compare that to its net profit after tax for 9M2015 of $45.16m, and you can be certain this is a very productive cash-generating machine with little need for capex.

Do you know of any other super business like this?

Yes BNN I fully agree with you, Straco cashflow is marvellous. The business generated $47.8 million in free cash flow in the first 9 months is unbelivable!

Straco by just making the basics right has turn 'The Singapore Flyer' into another cash generate machine. There is big upside from here as Straco has (undisclosed) plans for a makeover which it has submittted to the relevant government bodies for their blessings.

Straco 9 months profit for 2015 = $45.2 million. If add 4Q 2015 profit at $10 million; total FY 2015 profit = $55 million. Share price @ 85 cents valued Straco at 13 times earnings and ex cash 10 times earnings. Straco is unbelivable way too CHEAP!
(Straco 4Q 2014 profit = $4.6 million but this was weight down by increased in operating & adminsitrative expenses increased $6 million in total; 82% higher than 4Q2013 mainly attributable to the expenses incurred by SLPL as it took over the operation of Singapore Flyer from 28th November 2014.)
